Closing a chapter to start a new one in a new apartment! Excited about that. My favorite room in my house is my office. I really wanted a separated room to study/work because I preferred to sleep rather than to study when I my desk at my bedroom. And my office is also my little library so is a dream come true

Very cute apartment! I like the big windows, in the right season the light coming in must be great.

I think it was about 7 years ago... I lived in an apt on 67th and Halsey. I only paid 495.00 for a small 2 bedroom. The owner never raised the rent. There were 6 one bedrooms and 3 two bedrooms. One of the girls in a one bedroom only pait 225.00 and had lived there almost 20 years. Well the owner passed away and her family sold the property. We all got eviction notices because they wanted to revamp the complex. We weren't given an option to move back in. When they were all done, the two bedrooms were now 2700.00 and the one bedrooms were 1800.00 per month. Just crazy. None of the apts had dishwashers or laundry available. There were 2 washers and dryers in the basement. It is amazing how much people will spend to be in a certain neighborhood. I'm glad you are going back to a place that made you happy. Hugs

Depends on where you rent in Portland people. You can get one bedroom for 1500 a month including everything. 2k for a one bedroom in the pearl makes sense. Most 2k is 2 bedroom apartments in other parts of Portland

11:42 One thing to note, putting your laptop facing the sunlight directly is not good for its health. Maybe a couple of hours might be okay but constantly doing it like a habit is not a good idea especially if it's summer. As a soon-to-be programmer, it makes me a bit nervous even tho it's not mine haha Other than that, I think the overall look good with clean white style :) Hope your next move will be more awesome than the previous ones!

Hi 🙂 ! Your video just popped up on my phone. I watched & enjoyed it!! At first, I thought PORTLAND, ME; then after you mentioned Oregon - I knew it wasn't New England, USA (Apartment Rentals in Portland Maine are approximately 690-700 sq. ft. for about $ 1,690 - $ 1,700/month). Your apartment tour was Wonderful, where are you moving to? CONGRATULATIONS on finishing Nursing School 👍👍👍👍👍. I hope that your next move, will be a home of your own. Why not, you deserve NOT to be paying a Landlord; have your money work for you - it's all a right off on your taxes (Pay a Bank, or Pay a Landlord). With a rent - NONE! Where do you store all of the rest of your LIFE...😂😂?? I'm Subscribing to your Channel. TYFS!!👍👍.

Random question- do you recall where you got the frame with the patches and pins above your bed? I’m trying to make something similar for my dad for Christmas with pins and mission patches from all the rocket launches we’ve seen together in person since I was a kid but I’m having a difficult time tracking down something like this frame. When I saw this in the video, it was a lightbulb moment for me.

For the price you're paying for this place, you can get a nice house in some states for rent or mortgage payment. I don't have to worry because my place is paid off because I made so much money in stocks and used that money to purchase my house. I had great year in stocks in 2020 and 2021.
